Pretty sure the whole issue of religion is what causes a lot of the phobia, with how it's a sin and all.
Yeah, but the rest of society has moved on... I don't think many Aussies are too worried about sin anymore and it certainly seems like the younger generation is hell bent on shagging and drinking themselves to death (Hell, do I sound like an old fart or what?
). Point is, the overbearing religious doctrine that used to dominate society is a thing of the past.
You're probably right though - people want to believe that they live good, sin-free lives and while most cannot actually do that, it is easy for them to look down on prostitution.
